Ruth realizes that by representing a man who was a victim of gender discrimination, she can convince an all-male panel of judges that sex-based laws are unconstitutional.

The 2018 biographical legal drama film tells the inspiring true story of a young Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her early struggles to dismantle systemic gender discrimination in the United States.
